A/N- Hello everyone! Good to see everyones having a great day! So why not top it off with a great book? Such as Falling Dreams. Yes. I may start advertising my friends books as i really want them to have more people check it out! Trust me. Ignancy is a amazing artist. You won't regret it. Now onto le chapter!

That night, i sat up thinking about the guy that came by our door. Mike. Was he actually a hero? Or was everyone in this world just a liar? LIARS EVERYWHERE!!!(Reference anyone?) I laugh at that thought. 

Ignancy and Clint are in the other room playing Square Runner on the Xinfiniti Station.(MAJOR REFERENCE. LOL)  I get up and decide i'm going to watch. Silently getting up, i open the door. Its weird. I would usually hear them screaming and carrying on about how hard the levels are.  But as i opened the door, i knew right away why. Someone had stormed the apartment, somehow knocked them out,and then took them to a secret Undead Occult base. Literally, a person named Someone. It says so on the note they left. The TV is glitching out really weirdly and i see a evil face appear on it. A figure with white eyes. Quickly i turn it off and grab my dusty jacket  and rush out the door.

It shows the directions to the place, which is in fact in Androidian City.  I follow the streets to an alley in the southern part of the city. Passing tiny shacks and old stone monuments, i can see that this is the poorer side of town. I finally find the place and breathe. I really hope Ignancy and Clint are ok. Walking into the house, i find a secret passage and walk downstairs. Inside are Husk heads in the form of scarecrows lining the steps. Overly wierded out, i keep running till i find a huge hall. A ton of people stand there ,those with Zombie heads and dark capes held onto the normal looking people. Quickly, i hid and watched as a really tough looking guy walked forward. He had a scar across his face and a mohawk. He wore a red/black shirt. He looked around and smiled.

"Welcome everyone." He paused."Today, i brought you all here because you were from The Before. If you don't remember me, thats fine. I'll give you a hint." 

He smiles and his scar creases.

"I'm Meo."

"Yeah don't care. Just let us go!" Yells a kid in gold armour.

"Yeah. I don't really remember him either. Do you?"A girl turns to a zombie in a tuxedo, who shrugs.

"I remember you. You worked with Malix." Clint yells. I see him across the room.

"What did you do with Ignancy?"He yells. 

"She's fine, Clint. As long as you cooperate." Meo rolls his eyes. 

"What about us? What about me? Hello?! Can i just leave?" A girl who's half endermen yells. She tries to teleport but it doesn't work.

"I also would like to leave" A guy simply spoke.

"No Kiwi. You are not leaving." Meo snickers. 

"I almost forgot to tell you all. Your here because your going to help me defeat the Ender Dragon and Herobrine. Only you have the power to."

"Only us?" A Blond haired dude in the back yells.

"Yes. Experience points. Thats what its about. You see, you've been around for this much time. So you must have a lot of Xp. Now i am going to simply ask if you want to help me. Unfortunatly, you won't get any of the credit and I will be the ruler of the world. So yeah."

He coughs and then asks"SO. Who is in?"

Nobody raised their hands.

"Very well. Then my guards will escort you to the pit of lava. Thanks for nothing." He frowned, and walked away into a different room. 

Suddenly, the room erupted into chaos. The endermen girl jumped and teleported over to Clint. Together, they pushed the guards away from other people. The girl even threw a guard into the pillar i was hiding behind.  Wait. I swear i just saw Android!I quickly ducked, and rolled over to safety. I quickly got up and ran, as i saw a guard running towards me. I raced to the other side of the room, which i saw lead to a giant lava lake. Oh my gosh. I stared at it and thought i saw someone over there. Looking back, a guard was running at me! I quickly dive to the left, and well....he fell into the lava lake. Oops...

I get up and race to the otherside of the room so i could see where Meo went.  Missing a step, i slam my head into the steps, and i swear i broke my nose! Trying to brush off the pain, i run upstairs and find Ignancy and another person. 

"SHELTIES!" she screams over to me. I make my way over to her. Just like some of the other prisoners, their were guards over by her. I roundhouse kick one and then i pull Ignancy away from the other one. Passing a hallway, i see a timer. WAIT WHAT.

"Dude, come on! This place is gonna explode!" Ignancy screams. I race down the hall and beat her to the steps. 

"What happened to your nose? She says as we make it to the main hall. 

"Fell on a stair."I breathe. Man i really need to work out more.

"Wow. Not suprised."She coughs.

"Ok. Lets just get out of here." I roll my eyes. I then look at the main hall. Suprisingly, its deserted. 

Running out of the place, we find Clint, and the other people. 

".....guys. It will be fine!" I tune into their conversation. 

"Clint, we know how you roll. Help us one second, then backstab us. We're not letting you do that again. Especially when she isn't here anymore." Says the kid in Gold Armour.

"Gold, listen to me. I know the past hurts. But you should come with us. I promise that i would never ever do anything bad." Clint desperatly pleads.

"Your just in it for power. We saw that with you destroying Nexilene. How you even said that you argued way too much. And now you want us to trust you? Your ridiculous." Says the kid named Kiwi. 

"Guys i can explain-"

"NO. I've had enough of you. I don't want you to come near any of my friends, whether it be Fritz, Brad, or any of them. And i especially don't want you near our Group again." 'Gold' yelled. 

After he said that, he motioned for everyone to leave. Of course the place behind us kinda blew up but it just fell in. I looked over at the people as they left.They all went in their separate directions. Everyone seemed mad.Except Clint who was really troubled. He sat down on the corner of the dusty street, hands through his hair, and head down. 

"Aw Clint."Ignancy sighed She walked over,, put her arm around Clint, and hugged him. 

"Clint, i know the past hurts. Trust me, mine does as well. But you have to move on." Ignancy smiled.

Clint looked over at her and replied" I did. They haven't. " He paused" You know. You can truly love someone with all your heart. You can be there for them everyday, and stuff. But if its one thing i've learned from life its that the quote'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt them' is the biggest lie told by everyone. Words can hurt, especially if they are from the ones you love most. And if you didn't know"He paused as tears started to flow from his eyes and his voice went shaky"Those were the people i loved the most. My whole world revolved around them. During the Apocalypse,during the Woalands,During everything. Even in the last hours i saw them, i was so amazed to be in their presence. I was so happy when me and Kyler took out that guard. When me and Gold fought back to back. He's grown so much. Especially since she's gone. I miss her." He pauses to wipe the tears and takes a deep breathe. 

"Sorry guys. I just.... It hurts to be away from them from so long and still have the past haunt us."  He finished. 

Ignancy looked down at the ground. 

"I'm so sorry Clint. I know it hurts. I'm just glad that i have you and Shelties here with me. I really needed friends. Being alone for so long. The silence was deafening. I just needed to not be alone.. And well, my wish was granted i guess." Ignancy smiles.

"Hey Iggie, this isn't about you. " I chuckled. 

"Oh here we go." She rolled her eyes. "But on a more serious note. I mean. The past hurts,Clint. We all know. We all regret things. We hurt over loss and hurt over breakups,arguments, and well, a lot. But you know what? If the past wasn't so dark, how would we see the Future? I mean isn't the Future always beaming with possibilities? Thats why its so bright. We have to always look towards the future and leave the past behind. Don't leave behind the lessons, just the hurt, the anger, everything. Its all behind you now."She smiled, leaning on Clint and giving him a big hug. Clint returned it with a big hug. 

"Don't forget me!" I give them a big hug. 

"OK. Thats enough."Clint laughs. Then he goes serious and says"Ok. Enough." He pushes away from us. 

"Yeah. That was getting awkward."Ignancy coughed.

"Alright. Lets go home. I'm tired." I yawn. 

"Yeah." Clint smirks and nods,

"RACE YA!" Ignancy screams as she starts running.

15 minutes later........

We arrived at the door to our house. Ignancy was of course gasping for air. Clint was asking if we could run another mile, and i slammed my head on the door because i was so tired. If you don't understand, Clint won.

We opened the door and walked into the appartment. Closing the door behind us, we stared straight into the eyes of Android and two soldiers. One of them held Batty's cage, which had Batty inside. Another held Clint's two swords.

Android stepped forward, and simply said.

"So. Your from The Before?"

END OF CHAPTER.

_-Venomancer-_ So you know how i told you how i was going to write about Andorid? I apologize for the chapter as i know that you were looking forward to Android speaking more. I've decided that that will be next chapter! I promise to write it A.S.A.P! Sorry Dude!

xXClintTheMCGuyXx Dude your character is amazing! And did you see all the ones from the Crafting Dead.

Ignancy I had no clue Ignancy could be so deep! Dang she is such a cool character. 

FabulouslyNerdy13 Even though you weren't in this, i think a certain character of yours was!

If you were tagged, i want to tell you that i am so grateful to have you guys as friends. In this episode, i made sure to make it super deep as i know you have had friends you've lost and new friends have come along. I know that its hard to let those friends go, or to try to keep your friendships going. But as dark as the past is, you have to look at the bright future you have ahead. Friends will always come and go. But close friends never will. I promise to be your close friend and to be there for you if you need me. You guys are amazing.  And i would be a very different person without you. :-]

And as for those of you i didn't tag, I just want to let you know that we are friends. Don't feel hurt by the tags. But just know that if you ever do need me, i'm a message away.

"Sure the past is dark. But if it wasn't, how would we see the bright future ahead of us?"-Ignancy
